 * Hi David,
 * Love your plug-in, and it seems to be backing up all files for our 3 sites on
   GoogleDrive, yet I’m getting error messages that say: “The path’/home/[username]/
   public_html/wp-content/updraft/backup_[filename].zip does not point to a readable
   file. backup_[filename].zip: Failed to upload to GoogleDrive.
 * I have elected not to store the files locally so I’m perplexed as to why I would
   get a message regarding local backup.
 * Also, some backups are taking quite a long time and/or are being chunked, and
   I am wondering how “chunked” files would be restored.
 * Not a “techy” so a response for dummies would be appreciated! Please let me know
   if it’s OK to post a link to a log file here or if I should send it another way.
 * Thanks!
    Sally

 * Hi Sally,
 * Can you click on the ‘Download most recently modified log file’ link at the top
   of the page, and paste the results into [http://pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com),
   please?
 * The backup has to be created in a local directory before being despatched somewhere
   else (and then deleted).
 * David
